From Athens, we’ll continue through the Aegean Sea, taking local ferries to the Cyclades Islands. We begin with Naxos, a lesser known island of the group but more untouched with a more local feel. Indulge in a little sun soaking and take the time to uncover remote ruins, gorgeous beaches and outstanding scenery.
